Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The war room fell hard for Montrell Johnson Jr., and it showed at No. 236: 54 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 58th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hollin Pierce. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wild overpay on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 166th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Montrell Johnson Jr.
They reached a country mile for Montrell Johnson Jr. at pick No. 236, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at the 241st overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
